Question
Lately, I’ve been feeling unwell, and I’ve noticed my child is experiencing a delay in intellectual development. How can I determine if my child has pediatric hydrocephalus? How severe is this condition?
Answer
Intellectual ability refers to a person’s capacity to understand, think, and apply knowledge to solve problems, including imagination and observation skills. There are many causes of intellectual disability in infants, such as consanguineous marriage between parents, high blood pressure in the mother, or premature birth. To determine if a child has pediatric hydrocephalus, a professional examination and diagnosis by a doctor are necessary. As for the severity of the condition, if the hydrocephalus is not pathological, it can generally be improved through exercise and appropriate treatment to enhance the child’s intellectual abilities. However, if the child is congenitally mentally disabled, professional treatment and training may be required to improve their intellectual level.
